Bistefani Krumiri Classic Biscuits (300g)

Product Information

In the space of just a few years they reached the Italian President’s Palace, the Italian Parliament, and even headed overseas to the White House, where they have been appreciated by presidents, famous actors, showbiz stars and Nobel prize winners. Don’t overlook them, dear reader,” wrote the Gazzetta di Torino newspaper in 1884, when it introduced Krumiri to the general public and invited gourmets to go and try them at the Turin Exhibition. Italy had been a unified country for only a few years and the repercussions of the Risorgimento could still be felt.

These fine biscuits are exquisite eaten on their own while also constituting the perfect accompaniment to beverages and soft-serve desserts.

Fun fact: According to various legends, the shape of Krumiri is inspired by the sovereign Vittorio Emanuele II and his famous ‘handlebar’ mustache. Today krumiri are among the Piedmontese specialities included in the Region’s official list of Prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale. It was amazing to see a typical Italian gentleman on the cash counter and just behind the bakery is where the local ladies worked to prepare, sort and pack them. This handlebar shape is said to have been chosen in honour of the extravagantly moustachioed Victor Emanuel II, the first king of united Italy.

Today Galup selects the best flour, butter and eggs to pay homage to this gem of a confectionery tradition. The following years also saw royal approval with the company permitted to display the seals of the Duchy of Aosta, Genova and King Umberto I on each packet. Their shape is inspired by the moustache of Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy, but they are also famous for their recipe. As the new century dawned, Krumiri had already received a series of important official accolades, such as a bronze medal at the Turin Universal Exhibition in 1884 and Diplomas as “Supplier to the House of his Highness the Duke of Aosta, the Duke of Genoa and “Supplier to the Royal House of Italy to Umberto I”.
